You have omitted some important information before this, but the problem |
16 |
you have is that something is trying to pull in libgudev, which is |
17 |
provided by systemd and well, hence the blocker. Packages should depend on |
18 |
virtual/libgudev, which avoids this type of conflict. Run the update |
19 |
again --tree to see just what is trying to install libgudev. |

In this situation, with so many packages being updated, I try to reduce |
26 |
the noise from portage by emerge --oneshot-ing anything in the list that |
27 |
is not related to the blockers, it makes the tree output much easier to |
28 |
work with. |
